Amal Clooney News: Human Rights Lawyer Joins George In Slamming These American Policies [VIDEO]
Talk about a power couple indeed. George and Amal Clooney are making their thoughts known that they are none too happy with the current state of American politics, as they think the Obama administration has failed to properly tackle the Syrian migrant crisis.
According to the Daily Mail on Wednesday, the Hollywood actor, along with his British-born wife, spoke at a meeting in Germany organized by the International Rescue committee. George sais that America is "forgetting who we are" while Amal reflected on her own migrant past and how her family was forced to flee Lebanon back in 1982.
The International Human Rights Lawyer said, "My own family is from Lebanon... they also ran away from a war and were lucky enough to be expected by a European country in 1982 when the violence there was really bad," while telling Syrian refugees at the meeting, "I hope you will be able to go back to a safe and free Syria."
George also slammed America by bringing up his own family's migrant past, while urging politicians to take on more migrants as they continue to flee war-torn Syria in droves.
He said, "My family were treated terribly and were not accepted and America learned to accept all these idea. Being here talking with you is important to remind them of who we are and who we have always been which is you."
The actor added, "We always look around at the end of these tragedies and say if we knew, we would have done something and the reality is, of course we know. What is shocking to me is not that it happened but its continuing to happen for five years. It's actually easy to dismiss giant numbers but it's very hard to dismiss a young child sitting on the ground crying as her mother said, 'If we die. I rather we die by a bullet because it would be quicker.'"
